i have never been a fan of terrorism books, yet i have read quite a few. i think it was jeffrey archer's
Kane and Abel that got me wondering about war and stuff. it was actually sitting in a corner of my bookshelf neglected for at least a couple of years until i, bored with nora roberts, picked it up to see why my aunt lavished praise on it. i was hooked from the start, and up till now i seriously think it is one of the best novels i have ever read. i cried and laughed with the characters, and a
book that can make me do that proved its worth.
anw, back to terrorism and counterterrorism books. tom clancy's
Rainbow Six was so exciting that i completely forgot my gender and read on till i finished all 897 pages of it - the paperback version. and so last night i continued reading another book - vince flynn's transfer of power. i had just reached the part where the white house got attacked by terrorists and secret service agents have been shot dead. very cliche eh. i cant believe im even admitting i read these stuff. hahas. but i couldnt put down the book, and it was morning when i finished it.
there's some attraction i think, to these kind of stuff. you like reading about highly trained Navy SEALs or FBI, CIA agents successfully killing terrorists and everything. it sorts of satisfies me. hahas. so i think i will reread rainbow six. too much agatha christie harms the brain sometimes, because you suddenly realise you notice clues to the murderer faster than before. tts no good, i like being surprised in the end. so yah. tom clancy!
velda.
